I watched the stream for about an hour and saw quite a few American flags as well as Mexican ones. I also saw some Irish flags, for that matter. If Fox commenters weren't mad about the flags it'd be something else, in my opinion.

at Union Station now, they're heading up to Liberty Memorial

Extremely peaceful, marching and chanting. No police presence seen nor necessary

I've been watching this stream for awhile, and while Yellow was actively protesting, nothing he did warranted that federal agent pointing that rifle at him. He didn't throw back tear gas canisters or anything. Pointing a real rifle is a serious escalation.

this is how it ended for Yellow Sweatshirt. About 25 minutes later, Mr Camo and the rest of his gang bum-rushed him and disappeared him into the federal building. Again, all content from KCAL

Why these seem important: these are on TIS-B but not ADS-B, so more or less is "there's something here, don't hit it" It's what mil and gov aircraft use on missions. Even state cops use ADS-B, so TIS-B orbiting means mil globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=~2994ed...

the more people see images of federal and state forces firing on Americans standing tall carrying the American flag the more the governmental forces and fascist foot soldiers become the visible enemy and they start to really lose control. bsky.app/profile/laur...

Outer ring (first pic) is probably ISR aircraft, like that King Air 350 I linked earlier. They're orbiting at 8,500 and 10,500. there's also something at 800 feet and 56 knots, really tight turns. It just appears downtown, so unknown takeoff point. globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=~299657...

I'm not going to categorize them all, but man, there's a lot of aerial stuff orbiting downtown LA. A new TIS-B signature just appeared and is joining the earlier one, except 2000' higher - so 10,500'. This one also took off from March Reserve Air Base. Based on all that, likely another ISR

It definitely seems like overreach. The military has their toolbox and will use the tools they are familiar with, and those tools aren't really suited for monitoring peaceful protests in an urban setting in America

The IRONMAN approach into LAX brings planes, like this Korean Air 747, right through the downtown area. Deconflicting all that traffic has to be a nightmare

For some locational context, here's the zoomed out view, with all aircraft shown. Top circle is the downtown site, bottom circle is Paramount, and the east-west lines is the approach to LAX.
comment in response to post
Interesting that it shifted north to the downtown site, and the decreasing radius of that orbit There's another TIS-B target (in orange on the screenshot) that has been orbiting downtown, much lower - like 800 feet, compared to the suspected King Air (green line) at 8500'

damn, that does sound great!!

The same aircraft (N838SY) took off 45 minutes later as SCX8724 and flew direct to LAX. I have no idea why I'm so interested in it, but it appears there's a return flight into MKC scheduled for Monday. I might go camp out on the downtown approach with my good camera.

KMCI ATIS at the time was 29009G17KT 10SM OVC008 19/18 A2978, so he even landed opposite wind. I tuned into ATC too late to catch the context but the pilot thanked MCI APP "..and thanks for the help, appreciate it" before changing to MKC tower.

I think everything should be ready for consumption by mid September!

That covers about 2 pounds of the cherries; I think I'm going to try to dry a pound, and then hooch the rest - some cherry cider, and adding cherries to the wash when I run the rest of the TPW and cider low wines this summer.
comment in response to post
You can swap out the liquor for whatever - the Washington recipe called for "old french brandy", but vodka and bourbon also work well. Vodka is more neutral so the cherries come through; the bourbon adds more woody notes and complexity. You can use sweet cherries, but probably without sugar.

same deal here! there was a neighborhood cat asleep on the deck at the time, and she didn't seem perturbed in the least. détente!

fanDuel was going to do a special one hour pregame thing with the Cardinals crew, is that rescheduled as well or just canceled?

Old watches and clocks used radium paint on the hands and dials, that's a bit more dangerous than glass or glaze because it flakes off pretty readily, and radium is bioavailable. Tritium was also used, but is usually contained in a vial. There's also old lamp mantles which contain thorium.
